I've heard that term before, and I believe it is commonly used, but is it correct? For starters, the we're not doing "scopy" anymore but "graphy". And the "photo" in the beginning is just indicating the use of light, which is the same for viewing and recording. Technically, the term microphotography would be more correct, but it may already be taken for regular photography using macro lenses at magnification ratios larger than 1. Which is more or less the same thing anyway...
On a related thought, is a photograph taken with a mobile phone called a phonograph?
